Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.02257 | $0.02257 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01128 | $0.01128 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00451 | $0.00451 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00226 | $0.00226 |
Grade A, and why
cheatengine-mcp-tcp-bridge CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
91% identical to cheatengine-mcp-bridge AGENTS.md — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
What this project is
A three-tier bridge that lets AI agents (via MCP) drive Cheat Engine to inspect and manipulate a running Windows process. See README.md for user-facing docs. Current wire/app version: 12.0.0. After the v12 overhaul the bridge exposes ~180 MCP tools covering memory, process lifecycle, code injection, symbol management, assembly/compilation, GUI automation, input, cheat tables, and kernel-mode operations.
Commands
# Install Python deps (Windows only — uses pywin32)
pip install -r MCP_Server/requirements.txt
# Integration test suite (requires: CE running, ce_mcp_bridge.lua loaded, a process attached)
python MCP_Server/test_mcp.py
Loading the Lua side in Cheat Engine: File -> Execute Script -> open MCP_Server/ce_mcp_bridge.lua -> Execute. Some CE builds expose this through Table -> Show Cheat Table Lua Script; in that case execute dofile([[C:\path\to\cheatengine-mcp-bridge\MCP_Server\ce_mcp_bridge.lua]]) instead of pasting the full bridge. Success log: [MCP v12.0.0] MCP Server Listening on: CE_MCP_Bridge_v99. Re-executing the script auto-calls StopMCPBridge / cleanupZombieState first, so reloading is safe.
There is no build step, no linter, and no unit-test harness. test_mcp.py is a single end-to-end script that talks to the live Named Pipe; running a "single test" means editing the all_tests dict in test_mcp.py:main or commenting out sections.
The MCP server is normally spawned by the AI client over stdio, but can be launched directly with python MCP_Server/mcp_cheatengine.py for debugging (it blocks waiting for stdio JSON-RPC).

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
